Agness on alert as Klondike marches west

On a fire as large as the 150,000-acre Klondike/Taylor Creek Complex, which stretches from the west side of Grants Pass to just 20 miles inland from the coastline, the differences are like night and day.

Throughout the East Zone of the fire complex, residents of Grants Pass, Selma, Kerby and Cave Junction heaved a collective sigh of relief. Sunny, blue skies, little to no smoke and evacuation notices that dropped to Level 1 throughout Josephine County have signaled a return to normalcy.

But on the Klondike fire’s West Zone, the situation has become more serious.
